Hawaiian Electric $50 EV charging credit

[InParadise]

Aloha all

I’m awaiting an updated VIN for a M3 mid range. They assigned me a 2018 and I’m updating it to a 2019.

HECO is offering a $50 credit for their GOEV charger here:

Will the M3 be able to use any of their chargers? Do they have any level 2 chargers?

Mahalo for all the information you guys been discussing. Aloha.

You need a Chaedemo adapter to use HECO's fast chargers. Unfortunately, Chaedemo charging isn't available for the Model 3 yet. Tesla has said they will add that functionality in the future so who knows when the will happen.

Hopefully sooner as the Supercharging network in the States are flooded with Tesla's. It would make life easier, especially here, for some kind of fast charging adapters to be more versatile.

Or they could just put one of those spiffy new V3 superchargers in at IMP or Ala Moana.

Note - The $50 charging credit is only available if you've purchased an EV in 2019. You have to input your purchase date & VIN on the HECO website, which I presume means that there will be some sort of validation done.

I am trying to find any kind of level 2 charging for that credit so it would be useful for M3 cars.

Some HECO fast chargers havs CCS too.
I think that adapter might come faster than the Chaedemo one.

Let’s hope this will happen and be at a reasonable price:

First look at Tesla’s highly-anticipated CCS adapter

It won’t be worth it if it costs too much unless you don’t have home or work charging.

The HECO chargers are pretty expensive.
This one is in Aiea by Cattle Company

They used to be a flat rate but changed to time-of-use fees in 2017.

it shouldn't take much to change the Model S/X CHAdeMo adapter to work with the model 3. Its probably just a firmware change in the adapter to match the M3 Specs.

I stopped using my CHAdeMo adapter when they jacked the price up.

Got my $50 credit today. It's an OpConnect $50 credit so it can be used for all their chargers, not just the DC fast chargers. Woohoo!

I got the opconnect credit too. I used one only once so far, offers like first 2 hrs or something free anyways, I'll probably never use the $50 credit. Who parks for so long anyway?

The opconnect chargers at my office building aren’t free. Can I use your card?

Just install another charger at your house and get your own card. does a kiddie car charger count?
